Answer:
The amount of energy required to transport hydrogen ions from a cell into the stomach is 37.26KJ/mol.
Explanation:
The free change for the process can be written in terms of its equilibrium constant as:
ΔG° =
where:
R= universal gas constant
T= temperature
= equilibrum constant for the process
Similarly, free energy change and cell potentia; are related to each other as follows;
ΔG= -nFE°
from above;
F = faraday's constant
n = number of electrons exchanged in the process; and
E = standard cell potential
∴ The amount of energy required for transport of hydrogen ions from a cell into stomach lumen can be calculated as:
ΔG° =
where;
[texK_eq[/tex]=
For transport of ions to an internal pH of 7.4, the transport taking place can be given as:
⇒
Equilibrum constant for the transport is given as:
= 10⁻⁷⁴
=3.98 * 10⁻⁸M
= 10⁻²¹
=7.94 * 10⁻³M
Hence;
=
= 5.012 × 10⁻⁶
Furthermore, free energy change for this reaction is related to the equilibrium concentration given as:
ΔG° =
If temperature T= 37° C ; in kelvin
=37° C + 273.15K
=310.15K; and
R-= 8.314 j/mol/k
substituting the values into the equation we have;
ΔG₁ =
= 31467.93Jmol⁻¹
≅ 31.47KJmol⁻¹
If the potential difference across the cell membrane= 60.0mV.
Energy required to cross the cell membrane will be:
ΔG₂ =
ΔG₂ =
= 5.79KJ
Therefore, for one mole of electron transfer across the membrane; the energy required is 5.79KJmol⁻¹
Now, we can calculate the total amount of energyy required to transport H⁺ ions across the membrane:
Δ
= (31.47+5.79) KJmol⁻¹
= 37.26KJmol⁻¹
We can therefore conclude that;
The amount of energy required to transport ions from cell to stomach lumen is 37.26KJmol⁻¹
Answer:
The alkyl halide is secondary
The nucleophile is a poor nucleophile
The solvent is a protic solvent
The product is racemic
Explanation:
The reaction is shown in the image attached.
Alkyl halides undergo nucleophilic substitution by two mechanisms; SN1 and SN2. The particular mechanism that applies depends on;
I) structure of the alkyl halide
ii) nature of the nucleophile
iii) nature of the solvent
Looking at the reaction under review, we can see from the structure that the alkyl halide is a secondary alkyl halide. A secondary alkyl halide may undergo substitution via SN1 or SN2 mechanism depending on the conditions of the reaction.
If the nucleophile is poor, and the solvent is protic, SN1 mechanism is favoured over SN2 mechanism. Since CH3CH2OH is a poor nucleophile and ethanol is a protic solvent, we expect the reaction to proceed via SN1 mechanism leading to the formation of a racemic product.
The organic product is also shown in the second image attached.
